Most transformations fail not because teams don't know what to do, but because they can't diagnose WHY it's not working. CIRCA-CLEAR adds the missing diagnostic layer.

@AGILEartisan Sorry to hear this, Neil. Our 17:02 service is cancelled due to a shortage of train crew, our next service is the 18:02. The 15:46 train is with @WestMidRailway who will be able to assist - Sam

@BusinessInsider a few years later I was commuting daily even more. Mon to Fri commutes to Belgium, London, Netherlands, London, Luxembourg. In hindsight I was crazy. But the dot-com boom demanded craziness

In the 90s I was a Dev lead with @ReutersUK, commuted 7 hours day (minimum), 5 days each week from Northern England to London. So old news ‘Super commuting’ is on the rise businessinsider.com/super-commuter… via @businessinsider

Product development is emergent. Organizations are complex adaptive systems, they are not predictable. There is no knowable straight path from an organisations' current condition to the desired outcome. #BVSSH

A system of work in which everyone is working all of the time is very inefficient. A focus on individual busyness has the opposite effect to that desired, in that lead time rises exponentially as utilization increases #BVSSH

@allenholub Applying this to us. As infants we have a heap of abilities. Our interactions with "older, wiser" people suppresses these. Educational systems are good at this. Work environments further enforce this. No class will undo 2 or more decades of "programming". But it's a journey

@allenholub I love the analogy. Adult gazelles individually are fast and agile. Live in herds, so that they are more protected from predators. Herds move as one. Behaviour is instinct & taught. Young gazelles build on this through interaction with older, wiser gazelles (ones who've survived)

You cannot "transform" to Agile (whatever that means). A gazelle is born agile. Gazelles don't take 2-day classes and bring in armies of coaches to become agile. They just are. A CEO who wants more agility needs to change themselves first. Once they _are_, the org will follow.

@WestMidRailway travelled down from LTV. Used your ticket machine to buy an Anytime Return, noticed a more expensive option with LU. Though I'd save time at Euston. It issued a combined ticket that expires today. I'm traveling back tomorrow. Options please

Common sense, unfortunately lost on so many. @davefarley77 we chatted about this at @Aginextio #london a few years back
Joel Thornton@joelpthornton

@davefarley77 My best advice is very closely related: reduce your iteration cycle time as much as possible. If it takes you 2 minutes to type+build+test a change, you can get 240 'useful actions' done in a full 8 hour day. With 10-min iterations: 48 actions. 30-min iterations: 16.
